Seth Rich's brother sues conservative media figures for defamation
Aaron Rich, the brother of a Democratic National Committee staffer who was killed in 2016, is suing conservative media figures and The Washington Times for defamation, alleging in a lawsuit filed Monday that they spread false theories about the unsolved murder of Seth Rich.
The lawsuit alleges that Edward Butowsky, a wealthy financial adviser and guest commentator on the Fox Business Network; Matthew Couch, a conservative online activist; and America First Media, Couch’s organization, “falsely and repeatedly alleged in public statements” that Aaron Rich “is a criminal.” The lawsuit further claims The Washington Times, a conservative newspaper, offered a platform for the unfounded claims.
“The Defendants are entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to spread vicious lies about an innocent man,” Michael Gottlieb, Aaron Rich’s lawyer, said in a statement. “Those who defame and harass decent American citizens in an effort to advance their personal financial and partisan gain will be held accountable in court.”
The death of Seth Rich, who was fatally shot in Washington, D.C., in July 2016, has spawned a wave of unproven theories among right-leaning outlets. -snip
